Almond+ and Insteon

(1/3) > >>

pef105:
Will Almond+ ever support Insteon home automation products?

eldaria:
"Ever" well not directly since it does not have built in support for Insteon.

But since there will be an SDK I suppose that if you can find an Insteon device that communicate over LAN or Wifi or similar, then someone could build a bridge so you can integrate the two types of networks.
From what I understood Insteon is quite big in US, so I would be surprised if someone did not take on that task.

LGNilsson:
We could technically add support for the Insteon hub, but it's not something that we're planning on doing at the moment, as it would require a fair amount of work and resources on our side that we can't set aside at the moment, but it's by no means impossible.

jonsmirl:
Best way to integrate with Insteon is to use a USB PowerLinc modem.

This will give you full control of everything on the Insteon network and also let you see events.

LGNilsson:
That might be an option, but the customer reviews don't really inspire a lot of confidence in the hardware.
